Understanding Social Learning in the Workplace
The document discusses social learning in the workplace. It defines social learning as learning with and from others, with or without technology, where learning is a broad concept. Social learning can take many forms, such as collaborative classrooms, social workshops, learning cafes, communities of practice, and more. Technology like enterprise social networks can underpin social learning by facilitating connection, conversation and knowledge sharing. The document provides examples of how to structure social learning experiences and support social learning through guidance, advising and encouraging participation. It also presents a case study of using Yammer to host social learning workshops and challenges.
